Yoshidaya  

In the hot-spring town of Takeo Onsen — a classic ryokan setting with a modern twist. JR Hakata Station is about a 90-minute train-plus-bus ride; Arita is roughly 45 minutes by bus and Huis Ten Bosch sits about a 40-minute drive away.

Modern décor meets a traditional irori fireplace for a cozy, stylish vibe. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, kettles and, in select rooms, a separate seating area. On-site shopping at Kihako highlights goods made in the Ureshino area, and free WiFi runs throughout the property.

Free WiFi throughout the property keeps you connected.

Chronicle Terrace serves as the on-site French restaurant and bar. Japanese-style set menus are offered for breakfast, and the cafe/sundry store stocks local Ureshino flavors and craft goods.
